Bad/Good
Smaller therapeutic index =
More LETHAL
MORE efficacy – curve goes
Up
MORE potency - curve goes

Pharmacokinetics
How Rx’s PLASMA CONCENTRATION changes over TIME
Drug IN
Concepts:
- Bioavailability (F)
- Starting concentration (C0), Dose (D)
- Apparent volume of d (Vd)
DRUG OUT
Concepts
Vd 1 compartment: 0-order kinetics 1-order kinetics T1/2, Kel (elimination), Cl (clear) Css (steady state), MD/D* 2 compartment
Steady state needs
Fixed dose at fixed interval
Affect Co (starting conc) (Drug in)
Absorption
Distribution
Affect t1/2
Drug out
Distribution
Metabolism - ELIMINATE
Excretion - ELIMINATE
Bioavailability (F) =
F = AUC oral/AUC iv 0 = F = 1
Fraction absorbed into plasma
Dose conversion (oral - iv)
Mg, mg/kg
Di.v. = F x Doral
